Gusta and Gustan are Spanish words. Gusta is singular while Gustan is plural of the verb gustar, they mean “like or pleasing to” in English. Gusta is used as a singular subject of the sentence irrespective of the indirect object, while gustan is a plural subject of the sentence irrespective of the indirect object.

Gusta subject has to be single to use the sentences while the gustan subject has to be plural, which is more than one to use the verb in the sentence. The verb used in Gustan does not depend on the pronoun used in the sentence that refers to one person or more, while the verb of gusta does not depend on the pronoun if the pronoun refers to a single person or more people.

Gusta and Gustan are both Spanish words and are action words, i.e., Spanish verbs. Although one of the two words is singular while the other is plural, the main difference between the two is that both words can't be used exactly the same way. To further explain this, the singular verb of the two is "Gusta," while the plural of the two is "Gustan."

The two words are similar in meaning to the word "like" in English, although the word "like" cannot completely capture their meaning. In short, what you should think of as their first difference is that one is a singular verb, while the other is a plural verb. The understanding of this basic fact will help you to construct a correct sentence. Also, know that "Gustan" should be used when you a plural subject in a sentence, while "Gusta" should be used with a singular subject.

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world, and experts expect this language to be the most spoken language out of them all in the next couple of years. Gusta and gustan are two words spoken in Spanish. Gusta translates to like in English.

This word is used to describe one singular item that you like. Gustan also means to like things, but it is used in the plural version of the word, to describe multiple things that are liked. For example, Gusta would be used to describe I like food. Gustan would be used for Them like fish and chicken.

“Gusta” is a verb in the Spanish language which means to like, and it is used in a sentence with one subject, whereas “gustan” is used with plural subjects. In Spanish, the subject used with “gusta” or “gustan” is an object and not a person. An example would be I like fish, or I find fish pleasing. For “gustan,” An example would be the stories that are pleasing to me.

Both verbs can be used in sentences using me, you, and us. The main difference to remember is that one subject is singular, and one is plural. “gusta” and “gustan” are used as the singular and plural verbs for the word “gustar.”
